Upgrading gtk2-engines to version 2.20.2-2 attempts to remove mint-artwork-debian and mint-artwork-xfce. It might be due to it removing the conflicts/replaces with gtk2-engines-clearlooks, which is a dependency of mint-artwork-debian.

In other news, the Mint-X theme has been updated and is now working well. Nice job on the quick fix!

I can confirm this as well. I decided to let it be removed (then removed the residual config as well). I have to say I can't see any difference yet. I am sure there must be some but it is invisible to me, then again I am not into 'theming' so maybe that is the reason.

I agree with Lippy gtk-engines-clearlooks is the conflict.

I get 3 files that will be removed:

mint-artwork-debianmint-artwork-xfcemintdesktop-xfce

Pushing forward...

Edit: No real problem with XFCE. But I had the deb http://packages.linuxmint.com/ debian main upstream import commented out in the sources list, and that may account for the mintdesktop-xfce removal.

i get a solid blue now in gdm instead of the mint branding (and i'm sure there's more); 2.20.2-1 is compatible (and is available in latest, let's hope Clem makes mint-artwok-* compatible with the new gtk2-engines soon.

The update to bash 4.2-2 will ask you if you want to overwrite bash.bashrc with a new config. If you choose not to keep the old config, fortune cookies will stop showing. It is possible to bring it back by opening either /etc/bash.bashrc or ~/.bashrc and adding this line to the bottom of the file:

mate-notification-daemon breaks notification-daemon which is a dependency of gnome-session fallback.gnome-session fallback needs notification-daemon which breaks mate-notification-daemon.MND works better with MATE. Not that I "need" Gnome Classic but it would be good to have it hand.
